- How 'bout the GVP G-Lock? It's much less expensive; and will take a
- Composite input and transcode it to Y/C. BUT... since the video output has
- to go back to the DB-23 connector, there's no reason why you can't pull the
- individual R G B signals off of it for your own Nefarious Purposes, right?
-
- As a bonus, it will convert PAL <-> SECAM, for whatever that's worth :)
